Stabroek News on Wednesday spoke to people generally about the rising cost of living and how it was affecting them. Their comments follow:

Hazel Livan

Hazel Livan, a 67-year-old said:  `The cost of living is very high because you got the children to send to school, you got the rent to pay, you have food to buy and it is very high, very, very high. And the money don’t do because I have a sick son at home, and I’m a single parent. The Government should at least give the pensioners money and the public servants money, so that we can live a better life.’
